DOBRÝ DEN. HOPS, IDENTITY AND EASE. POLISH MYTHS ABOUT THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Have you ever wondered what we really know about the Czech Republic? Are they just stereotypes about beer and hockey, or is there something more behind them? Jakub Medek, the author of "Dobrý den", takes us on a fascinating journey through Polish myths about our southern neighbors. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Czechs and look at them without prejudice.

The book "Dobrý den" is not only a guide to Czech culture, but also an invitation to reflect on one's own beliefs and stereotypes. Jakub Medek, a Czech by birth and a Polish journalist by choice, analyzes simplified judgments with humor and precision, revealing their origins in the past, culture and everyday life of our neighbors. It is a read that entertains, teaches and makes you think.

The author, known from the popular Czechostacja podcast, this time reaches for the keyboard to debunk myths about the Czech Republic. Instead of a microphone, he has the written word at his disposal, which he uses with extraordinary ease and verve. His book is a kind of "dictionary of Czech myths", which confronts them with facts, creating a portrait of a nation that, instead of great words, chooses a smile under the mustache, and instead of pathos - a mug of golden drink in good company.

"Dobrý den" is also a story about Polish-Czech relations, about mutual prejudices and fascinations. It is a book that helps to understand why we like Czechs so much and at the same time know so little about them. It is a read that opens your eyes to the world and allows you to look at our neighbors from a new, more conscious perspective. Ideal for anyone who wants to get to know the Czech Republic and themselves better.
